just one thing said:
iam confused about dead being dead in the framework. Taught radcliff built it so consciousness could live for ever.
I seem to recall that too, yes. But then he seemed to settle for having a long, happy life or something like that (I think he told the woman his girlfriend). I don't know why. Maybe that's the best he managed.

If Aida is the god of the framework, why would she create algorithm/personalities that could be a threat to her? And why couldn't she use her godlike powers to re-write or destroy any rogue algorithm/personalities?
She's the god of the framework in the sense she can change things here and there when she chooses to, i.e., she can suspend some of the rules temporarily, do "miracles", etc.
However, that does not imply she controls or can predict everything that happens in the framework. It seems clear to me that she doesn't.
Suppose, for example, that a programmer makes a simulation to figure out how, say, the merging of galaxies is likely to happen, or how a virus is likely to spread, etc. They can set the parameters, run the simulation, and see the result. But they can't see in advance what's going to happen. They can introduce changes and re-run things, trying to make things go in their direction. But still they can't predict what will happen with accuracy.
The same would happen even if the programmer were a computer, as long as the simulation is complex enough.
Another example: when programmers make, say, a program to play Go and defeat the best human players, they still don't know in advanced how good the AI will get or how quickly. They have an idea of what they have to do, how to adjust and improve things, etc., but the learning algorithms do much of their work on their own.
Granted, Marvel stuff plays by different rules in many cases. But there is no need to assume that it will be different in the sense that Aida will know everything in advance, and I think she doesn't. When she doesn't like what's happening, she can intervene in a god-like way, change things and try again, but still, she can't predict everything. Apparently, she also cannot run trillions of simulations in a second or things like that, but that part is not so clear.
Moreover, she still in part has the motivations she was given by her original programming. She wants to protect the framework, as a better world. So, she tries to improve it (from her perspective), but still wants human behavior in the framework. For example, killing all humans (i.e., framework humans, but I think they're pretty much the same as other humans) and making only robots would not do.

Also why did she want to know where to find Daisy's RL location, when she could just kill her in the framework and be done with Daisy for good?
I don't know. Maybe she does not want others to find a way inside the framework, so she wants to neutralize any tech that allows that.
